Chapter 1294: Counselor of the Cao Group

In the Yuan's camp, a new batch of fierce generals from the Cao's camp has been added, and their strength has greatly increased. Δ』Look at ΔBook』Δ Pavilion Ww W. Кan ShUge. CO

It goes without saying that Bai Xiaowen sent another general from the Cao family to gather the fleeing troops from the Anyang battle.

However, there are three other characters that Bai Xiaowen is very concerned about, and they did not surrender.

Two of them were prisoners, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

When Xun Yu went to persuade him to surrender, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai had already heard the news that Cao Cao Changyuan committed suicide. They coughed up blood and were bedridden.

Both of them actually have a sense of self-blame.

As a strategist with the army, the plan of attacking east and west, using Cao Xiong as bait, and letting Yuan's divide his troops to destroy Cao Xiong, killing two birds with one stone, was originally proposed by Guo Jia, and Xi Zhi perfected it.

As a result, this strategy was actually seen through by the enemy, which directly caused Cao Jun to lose the opportunity in planning and was defeated.

In comparison, the generals in Cao Cao’s camp don’t have so much psychological burden, especially Zhang Liao and others, who have followed Cao Cao for a short time and have not yet formed the inherent concept of serving Cao Cao as their lord for life; Do your best, and of course you won't feel guilty.

Guo Jia himself is very conceited, and he is indeed a top-notch strategist, so he has extremely high expectations for himself. Such a huge strategic failure, which led to the defeat of the assisted lord, can imagine the blow to them. .

Not to mention, the personal relationship between Cao Cao and the two is very good. This kind of relationship between the monarch and his ministers and good friends can be passed down as a good story in ancient and modern times, but now, it is only more sentimental.

Regarding Bai Xiaowen's solicitation, the two advisers resolutely refused.

Guo Jiatuo sent a message: "The two of us are planning strategies, and what we rely on is this square inch (square inch: heart). Now that the square inch is in chaos, we are already useless people. Even if we assist Da Sima, it is useless. Da Sima If you want to kill the two of us to avoid future troubles, I will kill you if you don't kill me; if you don't kill me, the two of us will go back to the mountains and don't care about world affairs."

Of course, Bai Xiaowen would not kill Guo Jia and Guo Jia. The main reason is that both of them are scribes, so killing them is not beneficial, but harmful.

After receiving the message, Bai Xiaowen no longer insisted.

Counselors like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are too ambitious, and they really "can't afford to lose". Note that the word "can't afford to lose" here does not mean that you can't afford to lose, but that you can't lose and dare not lose! Losing an important strategy, and then making suggestions as a counselor, will inevitably increase a lot of scruples.

Simply put, self-confidence has been beaten.

Bai Xiaowen asked himself, if he lost once, would he also have this kind of self-doubt?

Not easy to say. Because Bai Xiaowen hasn't lost yet.

However, Bai Xiaowen hopes that his resilience can be stronger, and he can learn from the indomitable Cao Cao and Sima Yi. It is not terrible to lose one strategy, but the terrible thing is to lose confidence.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai vomited blood and fell ill this time, which confirmed a sentence: deep love will never last, and wisdom will be hurt.

Bai Xiaowen can only ask the medical officer to take good care of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai's bodies, and tell them that after they recover, they can go on their own.

As for another talent, it is Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's level of strategy is also top-notch in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, this guy has a strong desire to survive, and he has a feeling of "you die, I will live by myself". If he can catch it, Bai Xiaowen is 100% sure that he can let Jia Xu assist him.

However...Jia Xu had already run away!

After Bai Xiaowen's investigation, he found out that Jia Xu and Guo Jia followed Cao Cao's northern expedition together. However, on the night of the decisive battle, Xiahou Dun was used by Bai Xiaowen to transfer the tiger away from the mountain. After being transferred away, Jia Xu ran away silently.

In the end, Nan Daying was burned, and Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were arrested, but Jia Xu was not arrested.

Bai Xiaowen can't do anything, he can't arrest Jia Xu either. Otherwise, it would be a troublesome thing to let this guy go to other camps if he was in a hurry.

It is also worth mentioning that Liu Ye, another counselor of Cao Cao, also disappeared.

The time of his disappearance is very intriguing. It happened to be the same time as the leader of the Awakened Gods——Richard escaped from the Three Kingdoms plane.

Bai Xiaowen couldn't figure out whether this Liu Ye disappeared by coincidence, or if one of the awakened people in the Shenting training camp cut in and pretended to be.

As for other Cao Jun advisors, such as Cheng Yu, etc., they are similar to Dong Zhao and do not have special skills to assist the lord.

In Xudu, Bai Xiaowen met the chief executives of various states and counties in Henan, and let them return to their original posts. Among them, the outstanding ones, such as Zhong Yao, were rewarded and promoted, which quickly stabilized the hearts of the people in Henan.

So far, the first phase of the main task has taken 13 days.

Bai Xiaowen then convened civil and military affairs to hold a high-level military meeting again, using the authority to formulate national policies, intending to find the next unification mission target for the Yuan camp.

This time, Tian Feng, Xun Yu and many other advisers all had the same attitude, wanting to wipe out the bandits, rectify the internal affairs, and digest the fruits of victory.

One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military.

Bai Xiaowen also understands this truth, the fist has to be retracted first and then punched out to be more powerful. From a long-term perspective, if there are three to six months to rectify the internal affairs, connect Henan and Hebei into a single iron plate, and Bai Xiaowen will compete for the world, he will almost be invincible.

Look at Cao Cao who also unified the north, lost so badly in the Battle of Chibi, still dominates the north, and is so strong that he needs Sun Liu to unite to compete. You know how terrifying the potential Bai Xiaowen has at this time.

Knowing this is one thing.

But the rules of the spirit world don't accept it!

Counting Zhang Yan from Heishan, Qingzhou bandits, Bingzhou horse bandits, etc., they failed to trigger the second unification main line.

However, Bai Xiaowen was not in a hurry.

Thanks to the quick defeat of Cao Cao's camp, the current Baihuang team still has nearly 30 days of free exploration time left in the Three Kingdoms plane world.

As long as you trigger the next main line of unification within these 30 days, it will be fine.

If it doesn't work, forcefully increase the target, such as annexing Jingzhou, or annexing Yizhou, etc., which will always trigger the second stage of the task.

Therefore, after discussing with the civil and military officials of the camp, Bai Xiaowen decided not to use troops to expand abroad for the time being, but to conquer bandits, train elite soldiers, and save food and grass.

The defeated troops of the Cao Group finally gathered more than 70,000 people.

The overall combat quality of these 70,000 people is not weak, and their individual quality is better than the 60,000 elite soldiers that Bai Xiaowen selected from the 120,000 Yuan army, and they can all be incorporated into the army.

However, Bai Xiaowen still ordered to weed out 20,000 people to use them for farming.

His idea is that soldiers are more expensive than elites, and that one hundred thousand elite soldiers are enough to occupy the north. Like Cao Cao, who was complacent after unifying the north and dispatched millions of troops to conquer Jiangdong, Bai Xiaowen actually did not approve of it.

However, the peaceful days of farming and training have only passed for a few days, and something else has come to the door.

The Xiliang army sent envoys to Yedu!
